Skype offers great possibilities of quick and effective foreign language learning. An online lesson gives a possibility to be in touch with a native speaker regardless of a place you stay at. Your lesson plan is flexible (lessons can take place at different times, regardless of a time zone). You have a chance to learn in a comfortable and homey atmosphere (as you can sit in your own chair with a cup of your favourite tea). :)

Skype lessons develop all language skills: reading comprehension, listening, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and writing. Homeworks will be sent to you by e-mail.
